Preface 

This  volume  is  not  intended  to  supplant 
anything  already  published  or  that  may  he 
published  later. 

It  is  merely  given  to  the  public  with  the 
intention  of  interesting  and  amusing  said 
public. 

I  have  tried  to  cover  the  Exposition  in  a 
readable  form  and  to  be  as  correct  in  all 
statements  as  possible. 

There  has  been,  and  will  be,  published 
many  books  about  this  great  Exposition; 
all  of  these  books  are  valuable  and  I  would 
suggest,  at  least,  looking  them  over. 

If  you  like  this  book,  say  a  kind  word 

for  it,  and  I  hope  you 

will  like  it. 

Yours  sincerely, 

Elizabeth  Piatt  Dettrlck

DECLARATION 

Personally ! 

I  have  visited  the : 

Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition 

Over  lOO  consecutive  times! 

This  is  up  to  this  date — August  ist. 

I  hope  to  visit  it  many  more  times  before  its  closing 
date. 

I  have  read  most  of  the  printed  literature  about 
the  Exposition,  have  viewed  most  of  the  pictures  in 
books  and  other  publications,  and  then  I  resolved  to 
publish  a — 

Condensation  of  all  I  read  and  saw. 

My  book  herewith  contains: 

What  you  want  to  know ! 

Where  you  want  to  go ! 

And  so  and  so ! 

Nothing  has  ever  been  produced  in  the  world  that 
has  excelled  or  even  equaled  our  great  PPIE  Ex- 
position, and  there  may  never  be  held  another  expo- 
sition in  this  great  country  of  ours. 

Or,  if— 

There  is  ever  another  great  exposition  held,  it  will 
be  held  at  a  date  so  far  in  the  future  that  we  of  today 
may  not  be  able  to  participate  in  its  enjovments. 

So! 

Let  us  be  happy  while  we  may; 

Let  us  visit  the  Exposition  day  by  day; 

Let  us  store  up  the  pleasures  of  its  stay, 

And  retain  its  sweet  memories  when  it's  away. 

I  am  going  to  help  ! 

I  am  going  to  take  my  readers  through  the  Expo- 
sition with  me. 

[I] 


:drclaration 


We  are  going  to  pick  out  the  Best  Bits — all  of  the 
Exposition  is  good — but  there  are  some  Best  Bits ! 

We  are  going  to  view,  then  we  are  going  to  pen 
and  picture  what  we  see,  and  then  we  are  going  to 
have  a  book  that  we  can  pick  up  and  it  will  take  us 
into  the  World  of  Pleasure,  away  from  the  wearing 
toil  of  the  busy  marts  of  men  into  the  restful  World 
of  Peace. 

Then! 

We  are  going  to  wander  about  dear  San  Francisco, 
the  pet  of  America,  the  abused  darling  of  the  great 
West,  and  the  phoenix  of  this  wonderful  country; 

And  there  is  much  to  see  and  to  tell. 

And  it  will  not  be  like  anything  ever  beheld; 

For  San  Francisco  is  unlike  any  other  city,  no  mat- 
ter where  such  other  city  is  located. 

So,  dear  reader,  join  with  me  in  the  joyous  mood 
that  this  book  has  been  written,  and  let  us  forget  there 
is  such  a  thing  in  the  world  as  trouble ; 

And  bidding  you  all  joy,  I  say,  come  along  with  me. 

Elizabeth  Platt  Deitrick, 

(Betty  Deitrick).

DEDICATION 

Commemorating ! 

In  a  befitting  manner; 

The  colossal  achievement  of  mankind,  the  build- 
ing of  the  Panama  Canal,  is  the  reason  for: 

The  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition. 

The  historical  material  facts  are : 

President  Taft  signed  the  bill  authorizing  the  Ex- 
position on  February  15,  191 1. 

The  Exposition  site  was  selected  in  July,.  191 1. 

President  Taft  broke  ground  for  the  Exposition 
on  October  14,  191 1. 

The  first  contract  let  for  an  exhibit  palace  was  for 
the  Palace  of  Machinery,  on  January  7,  19 13,  and 
the  building  was  completed  March  10,  19 14. 

The  Exposition  opened  on  February  20,  19 15. 

The  closing  day,  December  4,  19 15. 

Facts  are  interesting! 

Here  are  some  more: 

The  Exposition  embraces  635  acres  of  ground. 

The  ground  is  about  two  and  one-half  miles  in 
length  and  it  averages  about  one-half  mile  in  width. 

The  ground  is  bounded  by  the  great  San  Francisco 
Bay,  being  on  its  southern  shore,  and  the  fortifications 
of  Fort  Mason  on  the  east,  and  the  famous  Presidio 
on  the  west,  and  San  Francisco  on  the  south. 

Of  the  finances! 

You  must  think  in  millions ! 

The  Exposition  is  a  $50,000,000  Investment. 

The  subscribers: 

Citizens  of  San  Francisco,  $7,500,000; 

City  of  San  Francisco  bonds,  $5,000,000; 

State  of  California  bonds,  $5,000,000; 

Other  States  and  Territories,  $8,000,000; 

[3] 


DEDICATION 


Counties  of  California,  $3,000,000; 

Invested  in  Concessions,  $10,000,000; 

Foreign  Governments,  $5,000,000; 

Individual  Exhibitors,  $6,500,000. 

These  are  the  material  facts  of  the  first  finances. 

And  since  the  opening! 

The  army  of  employed: 

And  this  includes  one  or  more  commissioners  and 
assistants;  and  the  other  army  that  includes  from  the 
lowest  to  the  highest. 

The  estimated  total  of  the  army  of  employed  is : 

About  10,000  men  and  women! 

Think  of  the  vast  amount  of  money  this  great  army 
puts  into  circulation ! 

And  then  think : 

Of  the  vast  amount  of  money  the  great  army  of 
visitors  puts  into  circulation ! 

And  then  think: 

Of  the  joy  to  all !

INVOCATION 

Prayer ! 

How  sweet  the  power  of  prayer! 

How  beautiful  the  faith  of  the  sincere! 

Prayers  given  at  the  Opening  of  the  Exposition 
were  from  the  eloquent  lips  of  three  noted  clergymen. 

These  clergymen  were : 

Archbishop  E.  J.  Hanna,  of  the  Catholic  Diocese; 

Bishop  W.  F.  Nichols,  of  the  Episcopal  Diocese; 

Rabbi  Martin  A.  Meyer,  of  San  Francisco. 

The  prayer  of  Bishop  Nichols  was  as  follows: 

"The  Blessings  of  God  Almighty,  the  God  of  the 
Ages,  the  God  of  the  Oceans,  the  God  of  the  Con- 
tinents, the  God  of  the  Genius  of  Man,  and  the  God 
of  every  Exposition  of  human  achievement  and  prog- 
ress— the  Blessing  of  God  Almighty,  the  Father,  the 
Son  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  upon  you  and  remain  with 
you  always.  Amen!" 

The  prayer  of  Bishop  Hanna  was  as  follows : 

"O  God  of  our  Fathers,  in  Whose  power  are  the 
destinies  of  men,  in  Whose  hands  are  the  ends  of  the 
world,  look  down  with  loving-kindness  on  Thy  chil- 
dren here  gathered  in  Thy  name.  From  the  uttermost 
bounds  of  the  earth  have  we  come  to  commemorate 
one  of  man's  greatest  achievements  adown  the  ages. 
Make  us.  Thy  children,  realize  that  Thou  art  the 
source  of  light  and  of  inspiration ;  make  us  realize  that 
great  things  are  wrought  through  Thee  alone. 

"To  the  city  of  St.  Francis,  enthroned  in  beauty  by 
the  western  sea,  give  the  grace  of  kindly  hospitality, 
the  blessing  of  an  ever-widening  vision  of  true  great- 
ness, a  faith  and  a  hope  that  know  not  failure.  To  our 
glorious  California  give  abundance  of  harvest,  a  boun- 
teous plenty  of  Thy  treasures  and  a  valiant  race  of 

[s] 


INVOCATION 


men  blessed  in  the  knowledge  and  sanctified  In  the  ob- 
servance of  Thy  law.  To  our  favored  land,  which  Is 
from  sea  to  sea,  vouchsafe  strength  and  unity  and 
that  peace  which  the  world  cannot  give.  Make  us  feel 
that  the  mighty  City  of  God  rises  sublime  through  the 
centuries  only  when  built  on  the  foundations  of  justice 
and  of  truth;  and,  finally,  to  all  the  nations  here  rep- 
resented, grant  a  vision  of  the  highest  things  of  life — 
of  the  things  that  make  for  true  progress,  for  real 
brotherhood,  for  lasting  union,  for  unfailing  love, 
for  mighty  achievement  in  time,  and  for  that  glory 
which  is  everlasting.  Amen!" 

The  prayer  of  Rabbi  Meyer  was  as  follows — the 
one  hundredth  and  forty-eighth  Psalm : 

''Praise  ye  the  Lord.  Praise  ye  the  Lord  from  the 
heavens;  praise  Him  in  the  Heights. 

"Praise  ye  Him,  all  His  Angels;  praise  ye,  all  His 
hosts. 

"Praise  ye  Him,  sun  and  moon;  praise  Him  all  ye 
stars  of  light. 

"Praise  Him,  ye  heaven  of  heavens,  and  ye  waters 
that  be  above  the  heavens. 

"Let  them  praise  the  name  of  the  Lord;  for  He 
commanded  and  they  were  created. 

"He  hath  also  established  them  for  ever  and  ever; 
He  hath  made  a  decree  which  shall  not  pass. 

"Praise  the  Lord  from  the  earth,  ye  dragons,  and 
all  deeps. 

"Fire  and  hail,  snow  and  vapors;  stormy  wind  ful- 
filling His  word; 

"Mountains  and  all  hills;  fruitful  trees,  and  all 
cedars ; 

"Beasts  and  all  cattle;  creeping  things  and  flying 
fowl; 

"Kings  of  the  earth  and  all  people;  princes,  and  all 
judges  of  the  earth. 

[6] 


INVOCATION 


"Both  young  men,  and  maidens;  old  men,  and 
children. 

"Let  them  praise  the  name  of  the  Lord;  for  His 
name  alone  is  excellent;  His  glory  is  above  the  earth 
and  heaven. 

"He  also  exalteth  the  horn  of  His  people,  the 
praise  of  all  His  saints ;  even  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
a  people  near  unto  Him.   Praise  ye  the  Lord." 

The  listening  multitude  were  inspired  by  the  beau- 
tiful prayers  of  these  eminent  divines,  and  all  breathed 
a  prayer  in  their  own  faith. 

Nothing  could  be  more  sincere;  all  were  fervent., 
and  the  faith  still  holds.

EXALTATION 

Flashed  around  the  world, 

February  20th,  1915; 

Opening  of  the  Panama-Pacific  International  Ex- 
position ! 

This  message  enlightened  the  world: 

The  Exposition  opened; 

The  opening  was  attended  by — 

Everybody  in  San  Francisco, 

And  the  surrounding  country; 

And  thousands  and  thousands  of  visitors, 

And  others ! 

The  Exposition  was  opened  and  its  great  success 
begun ; 

And  since  that  day  thousands  and  more  thousands 
counting  into  millions  have  attended,  and  all  have 
immensely  enjoyed  their  visits  and  gone  away  with 
joy  in  their  heart  and  mind  and  words  of  praise  to 
pass  to  their  relatives  and  friends: 

"The  Greatest  Exposition  Ever  Held." 

This  is  the  opinion  of  all  who  have  attended  pre- 
vious expositions  and  this  great  Panama-Pacific  In- 
ternational Exposition. 

The  leading  statesmen,  editors,  financiers,  profes- 
sional men  and  others  have  attended  the  Exposition, 
and  all  have  but  words  of  praise ! 

With  this  endorsement,  it  can  be  well  understood 
how  the  residents  of  San  Francisco  and  the  State  of 
California,  and  the  various  other  States  of  the  Pacific 
Coast,  feel  in  regard  to  the  Exposition ! 

The  feeling  is  most  affectionate  and  most  sincere. 

Nothing  has  ever  happened  equal  to  this  great  Ex- 
position, and  nothing  ever  will. 

And  to  all  this  I  wish  to  add  my  tribute !

EXALTATION 


And  it  is  this: 

This  is  the  Greatest  Exposition  Ever  Held,  and 
it  never  will  be  excelled,  and  it  is  doubtful  if  it  will 
ever  be  equalled. 

And  if  you  have  attended — 

You  know  its  joys! 

And  if  you  have  not  attended — 

You  will  find  within  the  pages  herewith  the  Best 
Bits,  and  I  hope  you  will  enjoy  them  as  I  have!

ADMIRATION 

Magnificent ! 

Beautiful! 

Splendid ! 

Elegant ! 

Wonderful ! 

Gorgeous ! 

Marvelous ! 

Tremendous ! 

Stupendous ! 

I  stood  one  day  at  the  Fillmore  Street  entrance  to 
the  Exposition  and  I  heard  all  of  the  above  words  and 
others. 

They  were  all  first-impression  words  and  were  a 
good  average  for  days  that  I  repeated  the  same  ob- 
servation test. 

In  this  way  I  received  the  impressions  of  others. 

Everybody  had  only  words  oiF  delight,  not  one  word 
of  disappointment  or  disapproval. 

On  other  days  I  stood  at  the  entrance  gates  and  lis- 
tened to  the  words  of  the  visitors  as  they  passed  out : 

A  wonderful  day ! 

A  perfect  day ! 

A  beautiful  day! 

I  am  so  glad  I  came ! 

I  enjoyed  it  so  much! 

I  would  not  have  missed  it  for  anything ! 

These  and  other  expressions  of  joy  showed  that  all 
appreciated  to  the  full  extent  the  beauty  and  interest 
of  the  Exposition ! 

Artists  have  pictured; 

Writers  have  written ; 

Poets  have  sung;

ADMIRATION 


Speakers  have  spoken; 

All   for  the  Exposition,   and   all  has  been   in   its 


praise ! 


Not  a  discordant  note. 

And  I  add  my  tribute : 

The  Exposition  is  a  thing  of  beauty  and  a  joy  ever !

Ready! 

Come  along ! 

We're  off  to  the  Exposition ! 

Transportation !

Taxicab ! 

Jitney  bus ! 

Or  behind  the  horses ! 

Any  way  you  like ! 

Well,  make  it  street  car ! 

The  Municipal  line,  which  has  clean,  airy  cars, 
courteous  employees,  and  is  a  success;  or 

The  United  Railways,  which  is  equally  good  and 
covers  all  that  the  city  line  does  not  cover. 

Well,  we  are  on  the  car. 

And  after  a  pleasant  ride  are  at — 

The  Fillmore  Street  entrance! 

We're  here ! 

Now  to  begin: 

We're  to  see  the  most  in  the  shortest  space  of  time. 

Leaving  the  entrance  we  start  on  a  short  walk  to. 
the  right  and  we  are  In — 

Machinery  Hall,  or — to  be  technically  correct, — 

The  Palace  of  Machinery:  The  palace  Is  the 
largest  of  the  Exposition  palaces. 

The  size  will  be  realized  when  It  is  recalled  that  the 
late  lamented  aviator,  Lincoln  Beachey,  actually  flew 
inside  this  building. 

The  palace  entered,  the  first  display  noted  Is  that 
of  the  Standard  Gas  Company,  with  a  display  of  vari- 
ous types  of  gas  engines  and  machines. 

Then  turning  to  the  right  to  view  the  exhibits  In  that 
portion  of  the  building  first,  we  confront  the  exhibits 

[is]

of  the  National  Meter  Company.  Here  we  view  the 
workings  of  the  Interior  of  various  liquid  meters. 

Passing  along  this  aisle  by  various  small  exhibits 
we  come  to  the  exhibit  of  the  Burger  &  Carthy  Com- 
pany. This  Is  a  display  of  machines  used  In  the  fruit 
preserving  business,  and  It  Is  a  revelation  of  the  huge 
machines  that  are  used  In  this  Industry! 

My  goodness !  the  things  we  see,  they  are  wonder- 
ful ;  they  are  marvelous  ! 

Passing  through  this  first  aisle,  we  turn  to  the  left 
and  go  through  the  next  aisle,  and  we  first  face  a  series 
of  exhibits  consisting  of  machinery,  lathes  and  pumps. 
The  display  of  the  RIalto  Engineering  Construction 
Company  consists,  in  addition  to  a  fine  showing  of 
their  various  sized  pumps,  of  a  waterfall  fed  by  one 
of  their  latest  Improved  pumping  installations. 

Along  In  this  section  we  find  displays  of  various 
smaller  class  machinery;  to  the  back  of  the  palace  at 
this  end  are  working  exhibits  of  various  conveyors, 
and  a  very  Interesting  display  of  machinery  for  road 
building  and  grading;  pile-drivers,  concrete  mixers, 
steam  rollers,  and  other  class  machinery  of  this  kind 
are  there  In  great  display. 

Passing  across  the  palace  at  the  back  we  find  the 
Printing  Trade  Section,  and  here  we  find  the  very 
interesting  exhibit  of  the  San  Francisco  Examiner,  the 
father  of  all  the  great  Hearst  papers.  Here  Is  given 
an  opportunity  to  see  how  a  great  newspaper  Is  made : 
Linotypes  in  operation,  the  block  process,  the  machin- 
ery of  printing,  stereotyping,  etc.,  and  all  In  full  op- 
eration. 

This  exhibit  of  the  San  Francisco  Examiner  Is  well 
worth  an  extended  visit,  for  we  are  all  interested  In 
the  printed  word. 

After  carefully  viewing,  we  pass  along  to  the  Elec- 
trical Exhibit,  and  here  we  find  everything  of  Interest

in  this  great  industry  which  has  developed  so  tremen- 
dously. 

The  palace  now  has  been  viewed,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  about  one-fourth,  and  this  is  occupied  by  an 
elaborate  display  of  the  United  States  Army  and 
Navy.  Here  we  pause  again,  for  there  is  much  of 
interest, — a  model  of  a  harbor,  a  model  of  a  gun  fac- 
tory, and  so  much  of  material  moment  that  it  must 
be  seen  to  be  appreciated. 

Now  we  have  completed  our  trip  through  this  pal- 
ace, and  we  pause  before  we  begin  again.  Now  we 
are  off  again  and  to : 

The  Palace  of  Mines  and  Metallurgy:  This 
Is  to  the  right  of  the  visitor  standing  with  back  to  the 
Palace  of  Machinery. 

Passing  through  the  main  entrance  of  the  palace, 
we  find  on  our  left  the  exhibits  of  various  large  manu- 
facturers. Here  is  one  of  the  Standard  Oil  Company, 
the  American  Coal  Products  Company,  the  United 
States  Steel  Company,  and  others,  all  well  worth 
viewing. 

Along  in  the  same  direction  we  arrive  in  a  section 
devoted  to  the  exhibits  of  the  various  life  insurance 
companies.  Here  we  find  interesting  displays  of  the 
great  Prudential  Life  Insurance  Company,  of  the 
Metropolitan  Life  Insurance  Company,  and  others, 
and  these  displays  should  appeal  and  do  appeal  to  all 
who  are  interested  in  this  great  subject — one  that 
should  Interest  everybody ! 

Retracing  our  steps  along  the  main  aisle,  we  view 
many  Interesting  and  elaborate  exhibits : 

We  find  Japan  has  a  very  fine  display  of  mining 
from  Its  country; 

And  we  find  a  most  interesting  exhibit  known  as 
'^The  Mine."  This  Is  a  composite  mine  and  consists 
of  the   reproduction  of  typical   sections  of  various 

[17] 


PORTAL  OF  ALL  THE  PALACES  FACING  NORTH — BY  W.   B.  FAVH.LE 


COURTS  AND  PALACES 


mines.  Through  an  open  door  the  visitor  enters,  de- 
scends a  shaft,  is  given  a  lantern,  and  then  you  may 
wander  in  the  wonders.  Here  you  see  a  section  of  a 
gold  mine,  then  a  section  of  a  coal  mine,  then  a  sec- 
tion of  a  tin  mine,  and  so  you  get  your  correct  im- 
pressions of  this  tremendous  industry — mining — the 
industry  that  adds  to  the  world's  wealth  without  im- 
poverishing any  individual — the  industry  that  the 
Government  should  encourage  in  every  way. 

Coming  up  from  "The  Mine,"  we  next  visit  the 
display  made  by  the  United  States  for  the  Postoffice 
and  the  Treasury  departments;  and  here  we  find  ex- 
hibits of  things  of  which  we  never  thought  in  connec- 
tion with  the  work  of  these  departments,  and  all  are 
mighty  interesting. 

We  linger,  view,  and  then  depart  at  the  entrance 
opposite  to  where  we  entered,  and  we  find  ourselves 
in  a  handsome  court — the  Court  of  Abundance. 
Here  we  view  its  great  beauty,  and  then  to  the  right 
to  another  beautiful  court — the  Court  of  the  Rising 
Sun — with  more  beauty  to  imbibe — and  then  we  enter 
the  building  at  our  right  hand  and  we  are  in : 

The  Palace  of  Transportation:  Passing 
through  the  entrance,  we  face  in  the  center  of  the 
palace  an  enormous  elevated  turn-table,  upon  which 
stands  a  huge  full-size  electric  engine  made  by  the 
Westinghouse  Brake  Company. 

About  one-half  of  the  entire  floor  space  has  been 
given  over  to  exhibits  of  road  transportation,  and 
this,  as  quite  expected,  consists  of  popular  automo- 
biles.    Of  these  concerns  there  are  about  four-score. 

This  automobile  section  is  divided  into  a  series  of 
courts,  one  interesting  feature  of  which  is  great  relief 
friezes  showing  road  routes  of  various  parts  of  the 
country;  and  this  is  to  be  included  in  the  Great  Lin- 
coln Highway,  the  road  from  San  Francisco  to  New 
York. 

[i8] 


COURTS  AND  PALACES 


Other  Interesting  "Best  Bits"  are:  The  biplane 
of  Lincoln  Beachey;  the  old  hydroplane  of  Robert 
Fowler,  the  first  airship  to  fly  across  the  Isthmus  of 
Panama,  and  others. 

The  left  portion  of  the  building  nearest  the  visitor 
is  filled  with  displays  of  steamship  companies,  and 
this  Includes  the  noted  Japanese  steamship  lines,  while 
the  remaining  portion  Is  devoted  to  railway  transpor- 
tation. 

Several  of  the  railways  have  very  Interesting  ex- 
hibits, notably  that  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railway,  the 
Denver  &  Rio  Grande,  and  others. 

There  is  also  an  exhibit  of  the  Wells  Fargo  Com- 
pany, which  is  very  attractive.  Here  you  will  see  an 
old-fashioned  stage  coach,  and  you  can  compare  the 
"days-of-old"  travel  with  the  "luxury-of-today" 
travel. 

By  the  way ! 

You  must  stop  in  the  automobile  section,  and  If  you 
want  to  you  can  have  an  automobile  put  together  for 
you  while  you  wait — yes,  just  that — while  you  wait. 
But  stop  and  see  it.  I  won't  tell  you  any  more  about  it. 

Everybody  wants  an  automobile ! 

Well,  here  you  get  the  pick  of  the  market, — all  the 
noted  makes, — and  to  suit  all  purses. 

Now,  we  leave  the  Transportation  Palace  and  we 
visit  the  Court  of  the  Universe.  Here  at  the  head  of 
the  court  is  the  Tower  of  Jewels,  beautiful  and  re- 
splendent— that's  all ;  It  will  live  forever  In  the  mem- 
ory of  its  beholders. 

Stand  in  the  center  of  the  Court  of  the  Universe 
and  feast  your  eyes  and  brain  on  the  statuary.  Then 
proceed  to  the  Court  of  the  Setting  Sun,  feast,  and 
pass  through  and  to : 

The  Palace  of  Agriculture:  My  personal 
opinion  on  agriculture  is  that  It  is  the  most  important 

[19] 


COURTS  AND  PALACES 


of  all  industries!  For  if  our  agriculturists  should 
band  together,  then  decide  to  strike,  you  think  what 
would  happen — now  think  again ! 

Well,  we  now  enter  the  palace,  and  on  our  right  are 
a  number  of  attractive  exhibits  by  our  various  States. 
They  are  all  well  worth  visiting  again  and  again,  and 
study  the  "Back  to  the  Land  Movement,"  and  then 
study  the  question. 

After  inspecting  the  State  exhibits  we  come  to  the 
section  devoted  to  the  great  exhibit  of  the  Interna- 
tional Harvester  Company.  Here  are  shown  reapers, 
plowers,  sowers,  etc.,  and  traction  engines,  and  many 
more  land  machines,  all  wonderfully  interesting. 

When  we  have  viewed  our  American  exhibits 
enough  we  turn  to  the  foreign  exhibits.  Japan  and 
China  displays  are  full  of  interest,  and  New  Zealand 
and  Uruguay  are  well  worth  visiting. 

And  you  are  well  repaid  in  this  stately  Palace  of 
Agriculture. 

Leaving  now,  we  pass  into  the  Court  of  the  Four 
Seasons.  Look  it  over  carefully — it  is  well  worth 
noting  and  studying.  After  we  have  enjoyed  it  to  the 
full,  we  pass  through  and  enter: 

The  Palace  of  Food  Products:  "We  Eat  to 
Live."  In  this  palace  are  things  we  are  all  interested 
in  very  vitally,  for  they  are  the  vital  things  of  vital 
life. 

We  find  in  the  palace  that  Japan  leads  the  foreign 
nations  with  its  exhibit;  and  the  large  corporations  of 
our  country  have  attractive  and  artistic  exhibits. 

Some  of  the  very  interesting  ones  are :  The  Sperry 
Flour  Company,  the  California  Viticulture  Associa- 
tion, the  Heinz  Company,  and  others. 

Upon  leaving,  we  pass  along  into  the  open,  and 
then  at  the  head  of  the  grand  lagoon  we  proceed  to : 

The  Palace  of  Fine  Arts  :  I  won't  attempt  to 
tell  you  what  to  see  here,  for  you  will  find  so  much 

[20] 


COURTS  AND  PALACES 


that  It  Is  Impossible  to  tell  you  about  all;  so  why  try 
to  tell  you?  I  will  just  state  that  some  of  the  best 
pictures  In  the  world  are  here.  One  artist  told  me  he 
could  spend  years  In  looking  over  the  pictures  here. 
But  we  must  pass  along.  If  you  want  to  come  back 
other  days,  do  so,  but  our  party  has  limited  time  now, 
so  we  now  leave,  and  passing  by  State,  foreign  and 
other  buildings,  we  go  to : 

The  Palace  of  Education:  Most  Important 
of  the  displays  In  this  palace  are  those  of  the  United 
States,  and  the  Japanese  exhibit  follows  In  order  of 
Importance. 

New  York^s  display  Is  a  very  Interesting  one.  Cali- 
fornia features  Its  University  Extension  work;  Ore- 
gon makes  her  rural  schools  the  center  of  Interest. 
Other  States  have  other  leading  features. 

In  this  palace  are  also  the  Child  Welfare  and  Child 
Labor  displays,  made  by  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment, and  of  which  I  hope  later  to  write  a  book. 

The  United  States  Shoe  Machinery  Company  Is 
the  only  industrial  organization  of  Its  kind  havlntr 
an  exhibit  In  the  Palace  of  Education.  This  exhibit 
has  been  awarded  a  gold  medal  because  of  Its  educa- 
tional value,  and  a  gold  medal  for  the  Company's 
work  In  the  direction  of  Social  economy. 

A  gold  medal  awarded  to  old  shoes! 

This  Is  hard  to  realize;  old  shoes  have  always 
seemed  such  humble  things. 

Yet  this  collection  Is  the  means  of  tracing  the  de- 
velopment of  one  of  our  greatest  industries  from  the 
days  of  the  primitive  man  to  the  spring  of  19 15  and 
from  the  deserts  of  Africa  and  the  corners  of  Korea 
through  the  length  and  breadth  of  Europe,  across 
the  Atlantic  to  New  England  and  even  to  the  West- 
ern plains — a  circuit  of  all  the  world  and  all  the  cen- 
turies In  shoes. 

[21] 


COURTS  AND  PALACES 


To  complete  the  story  the  making  of  a  pair  of 
shoes  is  shown  by  a  series  of  motion  pictures. 

These  are  made  by  the  Goodyear  welt  process,  in 
which  1 60  different  machines  are  employed  and  the 
shoe  passes  through  209  pairs  of  hands.  Think  of  it! 

This  exhibit  was  placed  in  the  Palace  of  Educa- 
tion at  the  request  of  the  Director  of  that  Palace  be- 
cause of  its  highly  educational  value. 

The  portion  of  the  exhibit  receiving  a  gold  medal 
in  social  economy  deals  with  the  sociological  work 
being  done  by  the  United  Shoe  Machinery  Company. 

Their  monster  plant  at  Beverly,  Massachusetts, 
seems  a  materialization  of  the  command,  "let  there 
be  light,"  for  over  eighty  per  cent  of  the  wall  space 
is  clear  glass  windows.  The  air  is  changed  every 
twelve  minutes  by  a  system  of  ventilation. 

Hygienic  conditions  are  ideal.  Baths,  showers, 
bubbling  fountains,  ventilated  lockers  and  rest  rooms 
are  installed.  All  practical  safety  devices  are  in  use 
to  protect  the  workman.  A  hospital  is  maintained  in 
event  of  sudden  sickness  or  injury. 

Any  employee  who  wishes  is  allotted  a  sufficient 
amount  of  land  to  raise  garden  vegetables. 

A  dining  room  is  open  in  the  factory  where  the 
working  man  may  secure  fresh,  well-cooked  food  at 
cost. 

There  is  provided  for  the  employees  a  beautiful 
Country  Club.  They  have  a  motor  boat  club  of  fifty- 
two  motor  boats,  gun  club,  soccer  football  field, 
cricket  crease,  baseball  diamond,  tennis  courts,  golf 
course — in  fact,  every  branch  of  healthful  outdoor 
sport  seems  to  be  represented. 

The  three  hundred  acres  of  land  which  have  been 
placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  employees  of  the  United 
Shoe  Machinery  Company  seem  to  be  for  them  a 
veritable  Happyland.   It  is  not  their  only  compensa-

tlon,  however,  for  no  mill  in  Massachusetts  pays  an 
equal  wage. 

I  heartily  recommend  that  those  who  have  welfare 
work  at  heart  send  to  the  United  Shoe  Machinery 
Co.,  Boston,  Mass.,  for  their  descriptive  literature. 

The  fact  that  these  people  have  been  given  such 
prominence  in  the  Educational  Building  speaks  vol- 
umes for  the  splendid  work  they  are  doing. 

Other  interesting  exhibits  in  the  building  are: 

The  Montessori  Training  Course; 

The  Gary  School,  in  which  vocational  training  is 
the  principal  feature; 

The  New  York  State  Prison  display,  in  which  are 
some  of  the  evidences  of  Mr.  T.  M.  Osborne's  re- 
markable reforms.  On  the  wall  of  this  display  is  a 
picture  of  the  officers  of  the  prison  playing  ball  with 
the  life  prisoners; 

The  exposure  of  patent  medicines  that  are  com- 
posed almost  entirely  of  alcohol; 

The  various  religious  booths; 

The  State  of  Pennsylvania  has  a  most  wonderful 
exhibit  of  its  health  propaganda. 

The  Social  Economy  displays  are  also  here,  (and 
some  of  these  are  in  others  in  the  Palace  of  Mines  and 
Metallurgy),  and  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated. 

Now,  leaving,  we  cross  the  wide  main  avenue  and 
we  are  at  the  entrance  to : 

The  Palace  of  Horticulture  :  This  is  covered 
with  a  huge  glass  dome.  Underneath  this  dome  Is  a 
mammoth  hothouse,  and  here  are  beautiful  flowers 
and  plants. 

In  the  palace  adjoining  the  domed  portion  are  the 
exhibits  of  the  various  States  and  private  concerns. 

The  only  foreign  country  showing  In  this  building 
is  Japan,  which  seems  to  have  had  a  most  Intense  de- 
sire to  exhibit  In  every  palace,  and  this  desire  has  been 


[23] 


COURTS  AND  PALACES 


gratified  both  in  a  satisfactory  and  attractive  and 
artistic  manner. 

Among  the  States  making  good  displays  may  be 
noticed  that  of  Oregon  and  Washington,  and,  of 
course,  other  States. 

Luther  Burbank,  the  famous  planter  and  world 
benefactor,  has  a  display  of  great  interest. 

There  is  much  to  see,  but  we  must  pass  on,  as  time 
flies,  and  we  cross  through  the  Court  of  Palms  with 
glances  of  admiration,  and  we  enter: 

The  Palace  of  Liberal  Arts  :  Here  we  find  on 
the  left  an  interesting  display  by  our  United  States 
Government.  And  this  includes  a  stately,  beautiful 
model  of  the  Capitol  at  Washington. 

We  cross  the  central  passageway  and  we  pass  to  the 
nearest  half  of  the  palace,  and  we  confront  the  exhibits 
of  some  of  our  notable  firms. 

This  part  of  the  building  has  been  arranged  in  a 
series  of  avenues,  each  filled  with  the  show  booths  of 
different  concerns  and  individuals. 

"Best  Bits"  in  this  palace  are:  The  giant  type- 
writer; the  Japan  exhibit,  yes,  again;  radium,  owned 
by  Germans,  value  $300,000;  long-distance  wire  talk. 
New  York  to  San  Francisco;  and  the  United  States 
Government  display. 

Leaving  the  palace,  we  pass  by  the  Tower  of  Jewels 
and  continue  on  our  way  to : 

The  Palace  of  Manufactures:  And  again 
Japan  confronts  us  with  the  largest  exhibit  in  the  pal- 
ace, all  worth  seeing.  Silks,  all  the  latest;  hand-em- 
broidered pictures,  one  of  these,  "Waves  at  Sunset," 
a  marvel  of  beauty,  valued  at  $2,500;  pearls  of  great 
price,  one  at  $10,000;  wonderful  ivoiy,  one  of  fruit

COURTS  AND  PALACES 


Italy  has  a  grand  exhibit  of  statuary.  Nothing 
like  this  has  ever  been  seen  in  this  country.  It  is  a 
marvelous  collection. 

And  many  of  the  exhibits  of  private  concerns  are 
worth  visiting.    Among  them  are : 

But  we  must  proceed,  and  passing  out  and  crossing 
the  Court  of  Flowers  we  enter  the  last  of  the  large 
palaces. 

The  Palx\ce  of  Varied  Industries:  My  gra- 
cious, here  is  a  display  in  its  entirety  that  needs  a  book. 

You  find  exhibits  of  all  kinds — gold,  silver,  glass, 
marble,  bronze,  iron,  rubber  and  pottery. 

You  see  displays  of  cotton,  wool,  silk,  fibre. 

You  notice  garments  of  skin,  fur  and  leather. 

You  see  toys,  furniture,  carpets,  hardware. 

Oh !  you  can  see  everything,  and  it  is  all  interesting. 

But  now  we  will  rest  a  bit  and  then  we  will  go  over 
to  the  amusement  quarters — the  greatest  ever.  Don't 
look,  now,  and  we  will  tell  you  about  it  on  the  next 
page.

ZONE 

Zonitis! 

Meaning: 

Joyous ! 

Gay! 

Laughter ! 

Grins ! 

Brilliancy! 

Mirth! 

Instructive ! 

And  everything  that  expresses  the  joys  of  earth. 

This  is  what  you  catch  on  the  Zone ! 

It  is  perfectly  infectious,  contagious  and  tremen- 
dously rapid  in  spread  and  action. 

It  is  permanent. 

It  is  harmonious. 

It  is  pleasant. 

It  is  mirth-provoking. 

It  is  everything  nice. 

All  ages  can  get  it  and  are  glad  of  it,  and  then 
some! 

You  get  it  as  soon  as  you  enter : 

The  Zone ! 

And  it  lasts  all  the  time  you  are  there. 

And  has  a  lasting  influence ! 

Now  that  you  have  the  germ  we  will  proceed 
through : 

The  Zone! 

We  enter  at  the  Van  Ness  Avenue  entrance  and  pro- 
ceed down  on  the  right-hand  side.  First  we  call  into : 

The  Yellowstone  Park:  This  Is  a  reproduc- 
tion of  this  great  park,  and  it  teems  with  the  life  that 
abounds  in  the  original. 

[26] 


ZONE 


After  viewing  this  park  we  go  across  the  avenue 
and  we  come  to: 

The  Turkish  Village  :  The  whole  appearance 
and  atmosphere  of  the  place  is  Oriental,  and  in  the 
theatre  are  the  dancers  of  the  country,  and  in  and 
around  are  lots  of  things  and  people  of  interest. 

Leaving  here  we  saunter  along  and  on  each  side  we 
are  appealed  to  by  voice,  by  music,  by  dancers;  in  fact, 
in  every  way  to  stop,  look  and  listen.  We  do,  and 
it's  all  so  interesting. 

Everything  has  some  attraction  for  us;  but  we 
cannot  see  all  in  one  day  or  one  week  or  one  month ; 
so  we  have  to  pick  out  such  as  we  care  to  see  and  let 
the  others  go  with  regret. 

What  is  best? 

There  is  no  best! 

All  are  good. 

They  cannot  be  compared. 

They  are  all  different. 

What  appeals  to  you  may  not  appeal  to  sister, 
brother  or  friend. 

Personally,  I  liked  everything. 

This  is  the  best  way  to  see  them  if  you  have  the 
time : 

See  everything! 

Then  you  will  not  be  overlooking  anything. 

The  Zone  is  a  half  mile  long. 

It  has  attractions  on  each  side  as  close  together  as 
it  is  possible  to  place  them.    Thus  you  have: 

A  mile  of  amusement. 

All  good. 

All  clean. 

All  interesting. 

Almost  all  of  these  attractions  are  new  Ideas. 

Some  of  these  are : 

The  Panama  Canal:  This  is  an  enormous  work- 
ing model  of  the  canal.     It  Is  absolutely  true  to  scale 

[27] 


ZONE 


and  to  the  original  in  every  particular.  It  Is  as  good 
as  a  trip  to  the  canal,  from  the  educational  viewpoint. 

Everybody  is  interested  in  the  first  family  of  earth, 
so  see : 

Creation:  This  is  a  representation  of  what  is 
supposed  to  have  happened  when  the  world  was  cre- 
ated. Well,  it  is  a  very  interesting  attraction,  no 
matter  how  you  view  it  or  what  your  opinion  may  be 
on  the  first  day  of  earth.  However,  it  Is  clever,  no 
matter  how  you  view  It. 

We  all  read  of  the : 

Dayton  Flood:  Well,  here  it  is  in  all  its  terrific 
grandeur.  Persons  who  were  in  the  real  flood  assure 
me  that  this  is  an  exact  reproduction  of  what  hap- 
pened. The  occurrence  is  faithfully  followed  in  every 
particular.  It  is  very  ingenious  and  must  be  seen  to 
be  appreciated. 

Old  children  and  young  children  will  like : 

ToYLAND  G.  U. :  The  G.  U.  stands  for  Grown 
Up,  and  It  has  grown  up.  Toys  of  all  descriptions 
have  grown  to  tremendous  size.  Our  toy  soldiers  at 
the  entrance  are  about  60  feet  high.  The  town  pump 
is  about  150  feet  high  and  the  pumper  about  100  feet. 
Mother  Hubbard's  cupboard  Is  four  stories  high,  and 
is  filled  with  things  to  eat,  and  generally  people  eat- 
ing there.  The  dog  is  here,  too,  but  he's  not  hungry; 
and  there  are  other  features,  all  of  our  cherished 
childhood  days. 

Everybody  likes  to  "hark  back."  That  "hark  back" 
sounds  good.  I  don't  know  where  It  originated  or  Its 
definite  and  proper  meaning,  but  It  is  used  in  polite 
and  other  society.  However,  to  "hark  back"  in  a 
proper  and  befitting  manner  we  must  go  to  the : 

Forty-Nine  Camp:  The  entrance  is  an  old-time 
stockade,  gun-proof,  Indian-proof,  and  only  opened 
by  money,  so  It  is  not  coin-proof.  (Life  please  copy 
and  credit  this  time.)     After  entering  you  find  you 

[28] 


ZONE 


are  in  a  blooming  mining  camp.  Remember,  these 
are  the  old  days.  The  boomers  now  have  autos, 
money  and  everything.  Well,  we  are  In  the  old  days, 
and  here  are  the  husky  miners,  the  daring  cowboys, 
the  polished  gamblers,  the  beautiful  dance-hall  ladles 
and  other  attractions  too  numerous  to  mention.  But 
you  see  all  and  you  will  find  enjoyment. 

Our  enterprising  friend,  Japan,  is  well  represented 
on  the  Zone,  as  It  is  everywhere  else  In  the  Exposition. 
In  fact,  I  think  Japan  Is  the  best  represented  of  any 
of  the  foreign  nations.  Be  that  as  It  is,  we  will  say  go 
and  view : 

The  Japanese  Village:  The  great  Idol  Dai- 
butshu  presides  and  protects  the  village  and  Its  con- 
tents. Here  are  several  theatres,  a  band,  wrestlers, 
and,  of  course,  workers.  Everything  you  may  find  In 
a  native  village  Is  here,  and  some  things  added.  Tea- 
houses, cake-shops,  games,  all  add  to  the  village  at- 
tractions, and  over  all  Is  that  atmosphere  of  courtesy 
that  is  a  prevailing  trait  of  the  people.  You  stay  as 
long  or  as  short  as  you  like.  You  are  not  Importuned 
to  spend  your  money,  but  you  will  spend  it,  for  there 
are  so  many  attractions. 

Want  to  go  up  in  the  air?    All  right.    Let's  enter: 

The  Aeroscope  :  This  is  something  new.  It  is 
a  car  on  the  end  of  a  large  steel  arm.  You  enter  and 
the  electric  power  raises  the  arm  to  a  vertical  position 
and  you  are  above  your  fellows,  right  up  with  the 
birds.  You  have  a  fine  view  of  the  Exposition,  and 
then  the  arm  revolves  and  your  view  reaches  In  every 
direction. 

Coming  down  to  earth,  we  resolve  to  go  under 
water  and  we  walk  to  the : 

Submarines:  Neptune  quite  fittingly  rules  here, 
and  you  enter  and  get  Into  the  submarine  and  then 
you  see  some  of  the  wonders  of  the  deep.  You  were 
right.     Mermaids  do  sleep  In  the  deep,  for  there  is 

[29] 


ZONE 

one  asleep  now,  and  there  are  others  all  awake.  Who 
wouldn't  be  a  fish  and  live  In  such  nice  company  and 
surroundings?    Well,  we  must  get  back  to  earth. 

We  saunter  along  and  on  each  side  we  hear  music; 
all  have  music.  We  hear  voices;  all  have  voices.  We 
see  sample  attractions;  all  have  samples.  And  we 
say:  I  would  like  to  see  every  one  of  these  Interest- 
ing attractions,  but — goodness,  gracious  ! — how  can 
I  do  It,  for  there  Is  so  much,  but  I  will  see  all  I  can, 
and  I  can't  do  more ! 

And  the  moral  to  all  Is: 

Get  Zonltis ! 

And  get  It  at  once. 

And  get  It  permanently  and  spread  It  everywhere ! 

But  you  might  see  : 

London  to  the  South  Pole ; 

Stella,  a  $50,000  painting; 

The  Hawaiian  Village; 

The  Tehuantepec  Village; 

The  Irish  Village ; 

Captain,  the  talking  horse; 

The  Samoan  Village; 

The  Australian  Village.

STATE  BUILDINGS 

Co-operation ! 

Certainly ! 

Yes,  indeed!  the  various  States  co-operated  in  a 
befitting  manner  with  San  Francisco. 

The  States  have  placed  a  series  of  buildings  that 
delight  the  eye. 

And  the  hospitality  in  these  buildings ! 

All  have  courteous  hosts  and  hostesses  I 

And  polite  attendants! 

As  soon  as  you  enter  any  of  these  buildings  you  are 
made  to  feel  at  home,  and  the  motion  picture  is  used 
in  all  the  buildings. 

The  general  atmosphere  of  all  is  harmony,  and  the 
general  treatment  is  courtesy — so  what  more  could 
one  ask? 

The  way  to  see  the  most  in  the  shortest  space  of 
time  is :

CALIFORNIA 

California  Building:  California  is  proud  of 
San  Francisco,  and  San  Francisco  is  proud  of  Cali- 
fornia. 

Therefore — 

Quite  in  keeping! 

The  California  Building  is  the  largest  and  most 
complete  of  the  State  buildings. 

This  is  as  it  should  be ! 

There  is  no  disparagement  of  State  or  nation. 

Home  co-operation  demanded,  insisted  and  re- 
ceived, and  the  result  is  the : 

California  Building! 

Therefore — 

In  order  to  see  the  fruits  of  the  Golden  State  you 
must  spend  some  time  with  the  exhibits  in  the  State 
Building! 

The  building  is  of  the  old  Spanish-Mission  style. 

It  has  many  bell  turrets. 

It  covers  five  acres  of  ground. 

In  the  patios  about  which  the  building  is  constructed 
flowers  bloom  and  fountains  play,  and  peace  abounds. 

Father  Junipero  Serra,  father  of  the  missions, 
stands  in  the  center  of  the  north  facade  of  the  fore 
court  and  welcomes  you  and  guards  his  treasures. 

Within  the  building  are  displays  of  the  various 
counties  of  the  State. 

You  see  here  what  this  great  State  produces. 

It  describes  fittingly  to  say  that : 

California  can  and  does  produce  anything  that 
any  of  the  other  States  of  our  great  United  States 
does  produce ! 

Hospitality  rules! 

The  California  spirit. 

[48] 


CALIFORNIA 


Good-natured  rivalry. 

Hearty  co-operation. 

If  this  county  here  has  not  what  you  want — 

There  are  others. 

If  you  can't  be  suited  in: 

California ! 

For  an  abode — 

You  can't  be  suited  in 

Any  earthly  abode. 

So,  why  try  any  place 

Outside  of  California? 

This  is  the  rule  that  governs  the  State. 

And  it  works  well. 

See  population  figures  and  watch  California  in- 
crease. 

Solano ! 

The  prize  winning  county; 

And  it  deserves  its  prizes ! 

Its  fruits  are  first  on  the  market;  its  dairies  have 
scored  the  highest  points;  its  grains  are  among  the 
best;  the  fertility  of  the  soil  recognized  by  the  Ex- 
position managers !  They  transported  thousands  of 
tons  of  it  to  the  Exposition  for  the  growing  things. 

Solano  County  is  midway  between  San  Francisco 
and  Sacramento  (the  State  Capital),  in  the  very 
heart  of  the  populous  section  of  the  coast; 

Vallejo  is  the  largest  and  the  principal  city  of  the 
county. 

Los  Angeles  County ! 

But,  my  goodness,  everybody  knows  Los  Angeles 
County ! 

San  Francisco  County! 

Well,  you  say  San  Francisco,  and  this  covers  all 
you  want  to  know! 

And  the  other  counties;  well,  you  write  to  them 
and  see  what  they  have  to  say.

FOREIGN  BUILDINGS 

Foreigners ! 

My  goodness ! 

The  foreigners  have  been  good  to  us. 

They  have  sent  us  the  best  they  have. 

And  it  Is  so  wonderful.  • 

The  displays  are  beautiful; 

And  a  liberal  education. 

They  bring  to  our  eyes  and  brain  the  best  things 
of  all  the  countries  represented. 

And  think  of  it!  the  Exposition  is  the  one  spot  In 
the  world  where  warring  nations  meet  on  a  peaceful 
field,  In  a  rivalry  of  art  and  Industry. 

Now  we  will  make  another  of  our  "time-saving 
trips"  and  we  will  enter  at  the  Fillmore  Street  en- 
trance and  take  the  auto  train  and  ride  to  the  end  of 
the  line. 

We  leave  the  train  and  walk  a  little  distance  to  the 
north  and  we  are  at  the  entrance  of  the : 

Philippine  Islands  Building  :  Of  course,  while 
foreign,  this  is  yet  American.  Expansionists,  jingo- 
ists,  etc.,  know  all  this;  but  this  building  and  Its  exhib- 
its and  Its  band  are  well  worth  seeing  and  hearing. 

Passing  through  the  building  we  walk  south  to  the

tion to  a  great  many  of  the  visitors.

Passing  through  and  east  again  and  we  arrive 
at  the :

class  it  as  foreign.  This  is  a  building  interesting  with- 
in and  without,  and  gives  a  good  Idea  of  our  colonial 
possessions. 

Leaving  here,  we  take  a  leisurely  walk  southwest

plays of  the  products  of  the  country,  and  our  "Sister

distinction  in  the  construction  of  ships  for  the  United

sands of  dollars  in  the  appropriation  for  the  enlarge- 
ment of  our  navy  and  the  building  of  auxiliaries;

ILLUMINATION! 

The  Exposition  shines ! 

The  Tower  of  Jewels  scintillates ! 

The  Arabian  Nights  fades! 

The  Aurora  Borealis  equaled ! 

Nearly  four  billion  candle-power  blazes  forth  from 
the  power  scintillator  on  the  miniature  Morro  Castle 
in  the  yacht  harbor. 

And  the  effects : 

From  the  scintillator  and  the  hidden  searchlights, 
and  the  jewel  prisms,  and  the  concealed  lights,  and 
the  other  lights,  and  the  bombs,  and  the  fireworks. 

Well,  it  is  impossible  to  put  the  effect  upon  paper. 

No  one  could  do  It;  no  one  has. 

It  Is  too  much. 

Here  is  my  description : 

The  illumination  makes  of  the  Exposition  a  City 
of  my  Dreams ! 

See  it  and  you  will  agree  with  me.

And  can  we  say: 

That  the  Young  Women's  Christian  Association 
Building  represents  woman's  work  in  the  field  of 
architecture.  The  building  was  designed  by  a  woman, 
Miss  Morgan,  an  architect,  of  San  Francisco,  and 
the  building  is  admirable  for  its  purpose,  and  Is  pop- 
ular, and  the  masculine  gender  are  found  here  espe- 
cially at  the  dining  hour! 

As  for  sculpture,  woman  Is  represented  by: 

Mrs.  Burroughs'  'Touth"  and  "Morgiana,"  Mrs. 
Whitney's  "El  Dorado,"  Miss  Longman's  "Ceres," 
Miss  Scudder's  "Frog  Fountain,"  and  I  think  others. 

As  for  paintings : 

Miss  Rand's  "Portrait  of  Miss  Peabody,"  Miss 
Beaux's  "Portrait  Study,"  and  there  are  paintings  by: 

Violet  Oakley,  Mary  Cassatt,  M.  Jean  McLean, 
Mary  C.  Richardson,  Florence  W.  Gothold,  Con- 
stance Mackay,  Ella  E.  Rand,  Helena  Dunlap, 
Marian  Powers,  Emily  B.  Walte,  Louise  Cox,  and 
Gertrude  Fisher. 

And  for  hostesses,  all  States  have  one  or  more,  and 
some  of  the  nations  have  some,  and  all  are  repre- 
sentative. 

Then  in  the  exhibits  women  are  well  represented. 

And  in  attendants. 

And,  altogether,  women  have  not  been  forgotten !

WOMAN 


Oh,  no,  indeed ! 

And  here,  don't  forget  the  Woman's  Board. 
Headed  by  our  dear  Mrs.  Phoebe  A.  Hearst,  the 
board  Is  as  follows: 

Honorary  President,  Mrs.  Phoebe  A.  Hearst;  President,  Mrs.  Fred- 
erick G.  Sanborn ;  Honorary  Vice-Presidents,  Mrs.  John  C.  Bidwell, 
Mrs.  Caroline  Severance,  Mrs.  Irving  M.  Scott,  Mrs.  William  H.

SCULPTURES 

Sculpture ! 

Is  one  of  the  most  important  arts  to  the  Exposi- 
tion ; 

Without  sculpture,  architecture  is  apt  to  be  too 
formal; 

Sculptors  in  this  Exposition  have  had  a  free  hand; 
and  they  have  improved  their  opportunity; 

Never  anywhere  has  there  been  such  a  display  of 
sculpture ; 

Adorning  arches,  and  columns,  in  niches,  on  walls, 
as  fountains  and  in  free  standing  groups,  sculpture 
abounds  everywhere ! 

Sculpture,  like  music,  embodies  a  mood. 

The  nine  beautiful  fountains  may  be  described  as 
follows  by  a  word: 

1.  Fountain  of  Energy — Joyous. 

2.  Fountain  of  Life — Dramatic. 

3   and  4.     Fountains  of  Rising  and   Setting  Sun — Architectonic. 

5.  Fountain  of  Youth — Naive. 

6.  Fountain  of  El  Dorado — Realistic. 

7.  Fountain  of  Ceres — Classic. 

8.  Fountains  of  Four  Seasons — Pastoral. 

9.  Fountain  of  Beauty  and  the  Beast — Playful. 

There  are  over  five  hundred  pieces  of  sculpture  in 
and  about  the  Exposition  Grounds,  and  it  is  said  that 
this  is  the  largest  collection  ever  brought  together !

COLORFULNESS 

The  Color  Scheme! 

This  Exposition  is  the  first  in  which  a  unified  color 
scheme  has  been  used; 

Jules  Guerin,  the  famous  colorist,  devised  the  plan 
and  supervised  its  execution; 

The  Exposition  is  tinted  in  eight  colors: 

French  green  for  garden  lattices,  etc. ; 

Deep  cerulean  blue  for  recessed  panels  and  vaulted 
ceilings; 

Orange  pink  for  flag-poles; 

Pinkish  red  with  a  dash  of  brown  for  the  back- 
ground of  colonnades; 

Golden  burnt  orange  for  small  domes  and  mould- 
ings; 

Terra  cotta  for  domes ; 

Gold  for  statuary; 

Verde  antique  for  urns  and  vases; 

These  are  the  colors  and  they  harmonize  wonder- 
fully! 

The  buildings  proper  are  of  an  old  ivory  tint,  col- 
ored after  the  famous  Travertine  stone; 

The  perfectly  exquisite  harmony  of  the  color 
blending  of  everything  makes  the  Exposition  of  won- 
drous splendor.

ANIMAL  KINGDOM 

Animal  Kingdom ! 

The  Animal  Kingdom  has  received  the  proper  rec- 
ognition at  this  Exposition ! 

Never  before  has  such  a  gathering  been  secured. 

Almost  all  the  representative  animals  of  the  various 
kinds  are  here,  and  additions  are  arriving  from  time 
to  time. 

This  exhibit  is  one  to  remember. 

It  includes  several  times  the  number  of  animals 
you  see  at  your  county  fair,  your  State  fair,  and  then 
some. 

Describe  it?    You  can't  try! 

There  is  too  much. 

And  it's  all  good. 

The  easiest  way — this  is  our  rule — enter  at  the 
Fillmore  Street  entrance,  take  your  auto  train,  go  to 
the  end  of  the  line,  walk  west,  and  you  are  at  the : 

Livestock  Exhibit  :  Here  is  a  large  dairy  build- 
ing, a  poultry  yard,  a  stock  stadium,  a  stock  corral  or 
rather  corrals,  etc.,  etc. 

You  can  stay  as  long  or  as  short  a  time  as  you  want 
to,  and  if  you  are  enthusiastic  you  will  stay  long  and 
come  back,  and,  anyhow,  you  will  enjoy  every  minute, 
for  there  is  so  much,  and  it  is  all  of  the  most  interest- 
ing kind. 

During  the  entire  time  of  the  Exposition  you  will 
find  events  of  all  kinds  being  held. 

And  this  means  all  kinds: 

Horse  events. 

Dog  events. 

Sheep  events. 

[73] 


ANIMAL  KINGDOM 


Poultry  events. 

No  matter  in  what  you  are  interested,  you  will  find 
that  special  line  represented,  so  don't  overlook  this 
great: 

Livestock  exhibit.

coining;

A  very  interesting  collection  of  coins;

And  more  real  money  than  you  have  seen  since  the

What  to  see  in  San  Francisco?  There  is  every- 
thing here  and  you  can  see  what  you  want. 

Now,  here  is  the  easy  way: 

Hire  a  taxicab,  and  tell  the  driver  to  show  you  the 
city; 

Or  if  you  don't  want  to  do  that; 

Go  to  Market  Street; 

And  get  aboard  one  of  the : 

Double-deck  motor  coaches  to  the  Fair,  Beach,  or 
anywhere. 

After  this  trip,  your  sense  of  location  will  be  served 
and  you  can  go  and  see  what  you  are  most  interested 
in  observing! 

By  the  way,  climate  is  a  large  asset  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  you  will  enjoy  it,  for  the  temperature  is 
about  60  degrees  and  you  need  an  overcoat  the  year 
round.

INSCRIPTIONS 

Inscriptions ! 

My  gracious ! ! 

The  wisdom  of  the  ages  was  weighed  to  get  the : 

Inscriptions; 

For  this  Exposition; 

Just  think  of  the  research  to  find  what  was  con- 
sidered suitable; 

I  heard  that  a  search  of  four  months  resulted  in 
one  case  in  a  two-line  inscription ! 

No !  I  will  not  tell  the  author,  nor  quote  the  in- 
scription ; 

Even  if  it  is  not  strictly  accurate,  it  is  a  good  story, 
anyhow ;  don't  you  think  so  ? 

I  do; 

And  I  know  some  of  the  inscriptions  did  take  long 
and  patient  search  and  research,  but  the  results  justi- 
fied the  labor; 

Here  are  some  that  I  consider  gems  of  the  collec- 
tion:
